A hare cut above the rest

It was nothing to rabbit on about

Hair Raising

LAST Saturday an elderly gent was out with family at the Highfields Tavern to help celebrate his son-in-law’s birthday.

Also out there was a lady who does face painting and limb painting on children and she does a fantastic job.

After his great grandchildren had their faces and arms painted, this elderly gent, who is almost bald, was induced to have his head painted as well.

The talented lady did a wonderful job on his head.

It turned out to be a hare and it was said to be an extra hare (hair) on his head.

The children and the staff at the Highfields Tavern were quite impressed and thought it was quite hilarious to see this happen.

The elderly gent then met with other people on the Sunday morning, as was his usual procedure, with the hare still on his head.

They wondered what it was on his head and he explained that it was an extra hair on his head.

They thought it was quite hilarious as well and then he said to them “hare today and gone tomorrow”.

Wake up screaming

A CHRONICLE reporter was sleeping nice and calmly one night last week when suddenly there was a loud bang.

He must have been in a light sleep as he vaguely remembers screaming an explicit word very loudly when he heard the bang.

He went back to sleep and completely forgot about what happened.

The next day he got home from work and found a note sitting on the front step of his unit.

“Hello, I’m your new neighbour, I just moved in,” the note read.

“I think I might have given you a fright last night.

“I was putting up some pictures and one of them fell down.”

The journalist has yet to respond to the note, as he was quite embarrassed by what happened. But wouldn’t everyone be if you were caught out screaming just from a falling picture?

International Women’s Day

AT ONE, (and possibly many offices around Toowoomba) on International Women’s Day, a young man asked, in earnest: “Why isn’t there an International Men’s Day?”

Whispers is informed his female colleagues sat him down “for a chat”.

Lesson learnt

IT IS true when they say bad things happen in threes.

A Toowoomba man experienced a prime example of this, but he can’t deny he was partly to blame for bringing these events upon himself.

It started on a rainy Tuesday morning when he was driving to work when he was involved in a two-vehicle car accident.

Luckily no one was hurt, but both drivers are without their cars for at least a month.

The man’s brother offered him his car to drive for the next day or two, so he took the car home for the night.

At 3am the next morning the man and his wife woke to their dogs barking loudly because there were police in the driveway.

His brother hadn’t paid registration in 300 days, by complete accident, and the police were taking the plates off the car so it couldn’t be driven until it was paid and a roadworthy was conducted.

The police only came about the vehicle because they were patrolling the area and saw the car’s lights were left on.

So now the car was flat, had no number plates and wasn’t able to be driven.

Second car down in less than 24 hours.

The man’s wife allowed him to use her car and after he dropped her to work in the morning he was driving to his brother’s house to let him know had what happened when he was pulled over and fined for speeding.

A lot of money is going to fines, regos and insurance this week so hopefully a few lessons were learnt.
